So, I'm getting ready to make a grip of slimline style pens for Christmas presents. I've seen a lot of slimline kits made with curved segment sides that taper down to the furnishings on both ends of the two segments. Personally, I like the look better if the segments are straight sided. However, straight is hard. Possibly harder for me given how much lathe time I have. The first pen I made came out well but I had to resort to a hard sanding block to get the segments straight enough to look good; just couldn't get there with the skew or scraper. I thought that worked well enough, doesn't take too much time and certainly got a good result. But now, I wanna hear from the pros how they do it. Teach me, o' Jedi Master!
